world cup woes

i'm working my way through the stages of grief just like all the others in the country right now. i think i'm nearing acceptance.

i've been looking forward to this tournament over the past 2 years and got my hopes up.

they got knocked out, or more like "slam dunked" out, on sunday by germany 4-1.

the problem is the team (not the players) is not good enough... no matter how much i justify and listen to all the reactions they didn't win because they were not the better team.

it's gutting as there's a huge discrepancy between "my hope" for this team and the "reality" of them. i sense that a pattern is emerging as i've said something like this before and the solution is either i lower, or boycott, my hope or we improve the reality.
